Chapter 6

             "So today was your first day? Just got of your shift huh?" he asked. How did he know that? Oh yeah…Alliyah. I made a face at her thought. She was so lucky…3 hot guys…and the hottest one was standing right in front of me.

          But I managed to nod, "Ya...just heading back to the dorm."

          He smiled. "Me too. Done with my shift, but not heading back to the dorm. Want to get some Dippin' Dots?"

          Wait what?! This guy was sly! He asked me out and we hadn't been talking for more than 5 minutes!

          "Actually, I have a boyfriend." There that should do it.

          I don't know if I was hallucinating, but Angad looked so sad. I looked into those puppy-dog eyes of his and almost cried. But then, a split second later, he was back to his cocky, confident self.

          "Ok fine. But you see, I don't know many people around he- ", he said but was cut of by a guy walking in the park.

          "Hey Angad!" the guy said.

          "Hey Matt" Angad said and cleared his throat. "Ok so I know a few people, but I believe people are experiences that need to be experienced. Come on, what's ten minutes of your time?"

          What was ten minutes when I thought my roommate was going out with him and he seemed to be flirting with me?

          Desiciosns … desiciosns?

          Say no and remain mysterious, have him keep calling and try to know me better.

          Say yes and be as dull as possible so he leaves me alone.

          "Sure why not?" I said.

          I didn't think it was possible but his grin grew even wider, "Great! C'mon it's this way."

          I wrinkled my brow. "Are you sure? I thought it was this way" I said pointing to the other direction.

          'This is my third year here. Believe me; I know where the Dippin' Dots cart is; im addicted to them."

          I nodded, "Ok lead the way." After all, he was experienced and I was just confused.

          "So what job did you get?" he asked.

          "What's the worst job imaginable?" I replied.

          "Hansel and Gretel Gift Shop" he said without a hitch.

          I arched my eyebrows. He looked at me like he was in pain. "So what you worked with a cash register before?"

          I hadn't even thought about that. I had put in my application that I worked at Abercrombie and Fitch sometimes.

          "I was thinking it was my hair." I said. He looked at me.

          "I can't tell how long it is with it clipped back" he said. He was about to take the clip out but I jerked out of his reach.

          "Aren't we supposed to get there by now?" I asked.

          He shook his head. "Nah. It's just up there."

          I didn't see it. And I was beginning to suspect that we had taken the long route and I was right all along.

          "Hey Angad" another guy said, as he was passing by.

          "John" Angad replied.

          "You sure know a lot of people" I said.

          "They're just my crew"

          "Crew?"

          "Ya I oversee Magnum Force" he said nonchalantly, "You been on it?"

          "No" I said.

          "Wanna go on it after Dippin' Dots? I have a cut-in front of the line pass."

          "No thanx".

          "Why not? It's a tight ride."

          "Im just not into roller coasters ok?" I snapped.

          "Are you afraid? Cuz there's this shrink who comes here on Wednesdays for this kinda thing".

          "Im not afraid! Im just not interested." I snapped again. Annoying much?!

          "How can you not be interested?!" he asked.

          "Do you ride carousels?" I asked.

          "Not since I was eight".

          "Well that's your choice. You ride roller coasters and I ride carousels."

          "It's not the same. Infact if you asked, I would ride the carousel. We'll go ride it after Dippin' Dots."

          I stopped walking and put my hands on my hips. "Listen I agreed to Dippin' Dots and nothing else. And speaking of Dippin' Dots, I can't see the cart."

          "We're half way there."

          I stared at him jus blinking. UNBELIEVEABLE! "So if we went my way, we would have been there by now right?"

          "Ya but we wouldn't have had time to talk"

          I scoffed. "I can't believe you did that."

          He shrugged. "Why? Your voice fascinates me. Its so smoky sounding."

          "It sounds like im a smoker."

          "No it doesn't. My uncle Dilip, is a smoker and is voice is all raspy and hacking and everything. You sound like"-he shrugged-"I just like the way it sounds. I just wanted to learn other things about you that I might like".

          I laughed lightly. "But I have a boyfriend."

          Holding out his arms he looked around. "Where? I don't see him anywhere."

          "You're too much you know?" I said walking away. But he grabbed my arm. I jerked free.

          "Look I know a shortcut."

          "I thought this was a shortcut" I said.

          "Ya it was; it was my shortcut to getting to know you."

          Well, at least he was honest.

          "So sue me", he added, not looking at all sheepish, but still managing to defuse my anger. "C'mon im paying."

          "Dippin' Dots, and that's all!"

          "Scouts honor" he said, crossing his hands over his heart.

          "Fine", I grumbled.

          He walked in a gate marked 'Employees Only' and then walked through an alley that was placed between rides. When we came out, the cart was there.

          I ordered Strawberry and he ordered Chocolate. I didn't argue when he paid. I figured he owed me.

That's all! It was pretty long…2 and a half pgs single spaced, size twelve font so hope you like it. Im sick so that's why it's a bit bad and I can't edit it. I updated Road Trip yesterday. Please comment! The more I get, the faster I cont. Angad is not a negative character in this ff-just to clear up some confusion. He is not trying to break Prithvi and Kripa up. He is just interested in her. Thank you for all the comments- usually I reply to each one personally but now I can't as I have very lil time.
